As of now nothing as the government will not allow you to reapply if you got only one coupon you can apply for a second.

This was a great thread. I don't recall reading through it before. If someone spent some time on it, they get make a pretty good list of all the failures involved in this program. There were some things here I hadn't even thought of before.

I have this to say about people complaining about the switch.

Yes, it probably wasn't needed, but you were made aware of it -well- in advance, and if you can't save up a good few dozens of dollars over the course of several months, then you need to take a serious look at where your money is going!

OK, forget the fact that our government has wasted tons of money on issuing plastic coupon cards when an email or paper one would do fine. But I have inadvertantly missed out on redeeming my coupons twice! Each time was near the deadline. Some online sites require a few days before expiration to process the coupon. Just tonight I set out around 9pm to review the models and found a few I'm interested in. Then found a few online retailers.... now it is about 10:45pm. By the time I add to the cart, enter billing info, etc., and finally the coupon info.... it comes back as being expired! Seems this happened last time as well. I think the coupon database clock is set for eastern time, but I am in central time, so should have had the chance to redeem! And of course there seems to be no help in un-expiring the coupons or replacing them now; just lost out again!
